Robert great to hear you are well & surving the crush towards release of our exciting & highly anticipated ORA GQ hp’s. Well that is encouraging as Paul B is someone I think should be clearly excited about this & would definitely benefit & would be really great if he could get in on the...

Lol, seems Armageddon is upon us! ; ) How are you doing, hope all’s well with you & Ari & Co.!

Yes, the prospects are very exciting but until all the t’s are crossed & i’s are dotted then whatever is in the works behind closed doors is not 100% definite even tho what was mentioned to me, so don’t take it to the bank as I didn’t but certainly gives me great optimism with the potential of...

Agree Absolutely 100%

I had talked with ORA Robert quite a while ago about other audio purposes & as you likely read by now sounds like they’re in talks with numerous other audio entities for various speaker applications as well as mobile phone & car manufacturers to use in their products, although many of them might...

Well it seems to me that at this point since you are no longer a backer then it’s really unnecessary for you to be interested or at all concerned other than just to bring focus on yourself. I for one am a backer from early on for two pair & none of what you’ve brought up & been going on about...

All well said & Excellent point!

Slater: I agree 100%, you/He can google all he wants as much is boardroom hush hush for these kinds of things for obvious reason. The fact from what I’ve read on ORA’s Own website & related business/investor/tech people on board, is the Northwestern & likely person in question he’s...

Hey Joe, Hope you’re on the road to recovery & feeling better after all that’s transpired to derail you & your health! Joe, no option for some people that don’t want to use FB, like maybe having it on Twitter as well? SVP! Cheers...

Sounds nice, glad you’re enjoying your NightOwls as the AQ are really very nice sounding hp as I’ve got the NightHawks, might be the most comfortable hp I’ve ever worn esp for long listening sessions..,

:thumbsup:+1

Yes I agree, it’s pretty obvious @ this pointvthere are many things they should’ve addressed before hand all things considered after R6 success but in any event not sure I’ll be buying another anytime soon will just have to wait for incremental fw updates over the next god knows how long to...

Hey V Man, Yes actually I have, odd that you would know that :wink: :beers::left_facing_fist: been trying a number of new local brews @ outside decks before the smoke descended. How have you been? Hope all is well with you. As you’ve said been curious & disappointed about the Hiby/R3’s...

:thumbsup:Well that’s great news & good start, hopefully more big improvements down the road sooner than later!

I’ll split the difference with you, I say next summer +/-. As much as I really hate the extra added Incrediblely long delay after the update was absolutely oh so promising from 3/4 mths ago they would be shipping by Aug for sure, most important thing for me is that they Nail the MF & They Are...

Ok ORA, Since ur update jst 2day ? 4 U bout the delay Since the new time line 4delivry is min 6-9 months+ is it not possble to add LDAC as an option as ths gives u plenty of time 2implemnt ths option 4many that would actully prefr the highr LDAC sq vs aptx HD whch u said in ur previus...

This was from Joe Bloggs yesterday @ 4:30pm Great news! LDAC is being tested in beta firmware in China and will be announced soon, as soon as some last bugs are squished. We got the LDAC certificate from Sony at the end of last month so are finally free to talk about it, thank god. On the...

Was out there ‘73/74 I think hitching back home from Miami up thru NY & north. Stayed somewhere around Patterson or Nutley NJ think it was & spent some time in NY & thing that stuck in my mind the most was seeing the Workd Trade Centres teaching up past all the other skyscrapers in that mass...

You’re Welcome, hope you can get one. Cheers...

You can order it from the US audio site $229. & ships wide... https://shop.musicteck.com/collections/hiby/products/hiby-r3-ultraportable-touchscreen-hi-fi-network-music-player

Ic where you’re coming from on that vol point. I agree & those vol settings I stated are for all 3:) again depending on music genre & how they were recorded so ive got a lot of latitude to work with so it’s nice that the R3 isn’t lacking in use @ least for my :) & yours by the sounds of it...

:) re: your comments on the R3 with your Elex are interesting, so here’s my :) & R3 experience so far! I’ve got well over 100 HRs on my R3 & all my :) have 1000hrs + so but in now is not a concern. I have the vol limited to 85 & I have no issue with the volume on any of my :) &...

So been doing A Lot Of listening to my R3 mostly with my Denon AH-D7200 less with my Focal Elear & my Audioquest NightHawks & for my use am really liking it esp more so with the Denon’s. As with you many if not most of the issues plaguing others have not affected me or are not of interest...

Well, I would hazard as guess there are many possibilities. If you look at the number of R3’s backed from what I can tell there were anywhere from 1400-1600 +/- not including those that outright cancelled etc. Also if you search hear & KS & vountvhow many people have actually received...

Hey Wick, ? for you. Before you got your Elex did you have a chance to listen to the Elear or not & if so are your impressions much aligned with many people in MD that bought them? I see they’ve dropped again & considering getting them. Got the Elear & as good as they are I seem to...
